NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
As another year comes to an end I can’t
help but reflect on all the trials, tribulations,
perseverance and successes we have had in
2010. When I started this publication two
years ago it began on a whim that was sparked
out of sheer boredom and the desire to spend my time doing
something that I truly love! It hasn’t been easy but in the end
everything has worked out. We continue to truck along and
search for new ways to entertain you. Don’t get me wrong
there have been times that we have considered throwing in the
towel and walking away but, then what would you all be left
with? Some other publication? Well we can’t have that, now
can we, that would be awful! The biker world would be an ugly
place without our tantalizing beauties.
Someone said to me this month that they would rather care-
fully plan, check and recheck, pack and count then plan some
more before they make any sudden decisions. I understand
that for some individuals their determination lies in their ability
to check and recheck in hopes of being so meticulous that they
cannot possible make an error because they planned every
little detail out and followed their plan to a “T”. Everyone is
different and perceives the world around them with their own
two eyes. Every one of us has a method to our madness and
each are entitled to our opinion. Hell, it is our G-d given Ameri-
can right to express our opinions freely.
For me, I have learned that the best things in life are the ones
unplanned that occur when you least expect it. I spent thirteen
years planning, packing, checking and rechecking to have it
all thrown out the window and my slate wiped clean with one
motorcycle accident. So now, all that planning and packing is
only required when preparing to leave for vacation and pulling
another banging party out of thin air. To me, it is all about set-
ting attainable goals and achieving them one by one. It is not
so much about the planning because plans are flawed, every
single one of them. Nothing is ever perfect and nothing ever
goes according to plan. Life is about expecting the unex-
pected, saving for a rainy day and rolling with the punches. It is
about moving forward no matter how turbulent the climb may
be; achieving one goal at a time. Bikes & Beauties
So, this year I plan to keep setting my goals and achieving them
one by one, no matter the size. I will not always succeed but, I needs some help!
will keep trying! Thank you all for another fantastic year! I look
forward to seeing all of you at our New Year’s Eve party!
We are looking for a
Happy Holidays!

SKIN CARE CORNER
HAIR CARE TIPS
FOR LADY RIDERS
Just because we ride with the big boys, doesn’t mean we
need to look like the big boys! Coiffing our ‘do’ could prove
to be easier than we thought...even under a helmet!

Here are some tips for curing ‘Helmet Hair’:

• The quickest and easiest way to rid the dreaded ‘helmet hair’
could be as simple as smooth, straight and one length styles
that can easily be slicked back into a low pony tail.

• Covering your hair with a scarf or a bandana will help in multiple


ways including absorbing moisture as well as adding a thin layer of
cushioning between your head and your helmet. And hey, if you are
skeptical about your hair style after your ride, you can always keep
the scarf on.

• If you have short hair or bangs, keep a small bottle of water in your
saddle bags so you can quickly spritz your hair lightly with water
when you take your helmet off. Use your fingers or a comb or brush
to style.

• An effective method to avoid some flattening of your ‘do’ could be to


use a small sponge as a barrier between your helmet and your head.

• Taking the sponge method a bit further, you can use foam curlers.
Just wrap up sections of your hair around the foam curlers and put
your helmet on. When you arrive at your destination, remove helmet,
curlers and voilà, a perfectly coiffed hairstyle.

To help prevent or treat tangles and damage:

• The most popular tip would probably be to just keep your hair pu-
lled back and close to your head.

• Shorter or shoulder length styles work best with out having to be


pulled back.

•Products such as gel, mousse, spray, etc. help protect your ‘do’ from
various types of damage from the sun, wind, dirt, and tangles. It also
makes it much easier to remove tangles when you wash the pro-
ducts out.

• Avoid combing or brushing your hair after you ride. This could cause
breakage and further damage your tresses. If you can, wait until you
wash your hair, if you can’t wait, gently finger comb to remove any
tangles and then only use a wide-tooth comb.

• Never use a brush on wet hair as this causes stretching and damage
which can lead to split ends and fly-aways. Instead use a quality wide-
tooth comb.

• If it is too late and your hair is full of tangles, don’t run for the scis-
sors! Head to the shower and be sure to grab your wide-tooth comb.
Slather on conditioner using your fingers to gently untangle the hair.
Slowly proceed to use the comb through your hair starting at the
lower portions and working your way up. Apply more conditioner as
needed.

• Avoiding direct contact with the sun may prevent drying and britt-
le consistencies in your hair. Products are now available that contain
sunscreen which will protect your hair from the suns harmful rays.
Check to SPF ratings on the labels.

• Trimming your hair regularly will prevent split ends and keeps your
hair healthier, longer.

HOLIDAY TOY RUN


E very year South Florida Bike Events holds their
annual toy run. In years past this run has
been in honor of Tommy Ruzzano. However, in
the last year we have lost quite a few fellow riders
and friends so this year they are riding for all of
our long lost friends. This year’s Tommy Ruzzano
Holiday Toy Run and Bike Rally kicked off with a
bang Saturday, November 20st at Sunrise Harley-
Davidson. Seventy plus bikes and a handful of
motorist assembled there in the name of charity,
again this year they chose Home Sweet Home and
Big Momma’s House. Participants were greeted
by a handful of volunteers and the most amazing
breakfast of any bike rally we have participated in
thus far. As the eleven o’clock hour approached
the riders lined up and prepared for their journey
across the infamous Alligator Alley. The year’s ride
to Naples was escorted by some of South Florida’s
finest badge packing citizens and greeted with
clear skies and temperatures in the low eighties.
The nearly mile long stretch of bikes was quite a
sight to see, I can only imagine what the I-595
motorists were thinking as the line of supporters
halted traffic and roared on by. The rambling
group of doo- gooders made one quick stop to fuel
up before arriving at Naples Harley-Davidson that
just so happens to be located right next to one of
our favorite spots, Hooter’s. It just doesn’t get any
better than this!! Riders and drivers alike were
greeted by supports, Vendors and the Hooter’s
calendar girls all waiting for the parade to arrive
and the party to begin. We danced and laughed
and helped raise a substantial chunk of change
for a great cause. As the afternoon slipped away
we mounted our chariots and made our way to
our ‘home’ for the night, the Quality Inn of Naples
opened their doors and allowed us to wreck havoc
on their poor tiki pool bar well into the night.
We awoke the next morning to find that Mother
Nature was on our side once again, painting the
sky a crystal blue ensuring our ride back to be a
blistery one. There are not many places in the
United States where you can sunbathe one week
before Thanksgiving but we are lucky enough to
live in South Florida! (Thank God for that!) The
escorted run back to Big Dawgs in Pembroke Pines
was, for lack of better words, freaking aweso-
me! We blew across Alligator Alley like a flash of
lightening and made it back in record time. Mike
and Dee Dee once again laid out a super fantastic
afternoon fiesta! Filling the Big Dawg’s lot with
another fantastic party! Thanks to all who came
out and helped a great cause.

FANTASY FEST 2010


I n 1978, on a beautiful Halloween Day, Joe
Liszka asked co-founding member of Fantasy
Fest® Frank Roman to follow him to the inter-
section of Front and Duval Street. He asked
him to look around and tell him what he saw.
There were no cars moving, no people wal-
king the streets and most of the store fronts
had been closed for the slow season. Liszka
proclaimed, “What is wrong with this picture?
Here it is the most beautiful weather day of
the season and the town is deserted. Workers
are laid off. Business owners have a tough
time paying their expenses. It is a disaster
season for the Key West economy. We need a
fest, a carnival, a celebration, something that
will entice people to change our moribund sea-
son to one of great fun; a party that will bring
many people to understand that this season is
one of our best!” His creative inspiration was
the birth of what is now known as Fantasy
